Your Local Solar Panel Cleaning Service For Southampton

Case Study Summary

At Mr Clever Clean, we excel at providing high-quality exterior cleaning services across Southampton. Recently, a client approached us with a major problem affecting their home’s solar panel system. Due to roof contamination from organic buildup, the solar panels were heavily affected, limiting their performance. This report details how we restored their solar panels’ performance using our innovative softwashing approach.

Customer Challenges

• Organic Contamination: The roof was covered in organic growth, which spread to the solar panels, obscuring the cells and significantly reducing their efficiency.

• Reduced Energy Production: The customer’s remote display indicated a substantial drop in energy production, potentially costing them money due to increased electricity prices during the ongoing energy cost increases.

• Need for Gentle Cleaning: The solar panels required a cleaning method that would not damage the delicate solar cells.

Solution

Upon being reached out to, we carried out a comprehensive assessment to evaluate the situation and develop an optimal cleaning plan. We then provided the customer with a detailed proposal, which they approved. Here’s a step-by-step overview of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We examined the affected areas, confirming significant lichen growth. We discussed our softwashing technique with the customer and its gentle effectiveness. We also recommended a later roof clean to prevent further cross-contamination.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: The customer chose to start with the solar panels, scheduling the roof cleaning for a later date. We set up our tools and began the cleaning on the appointed date.

3. Softwashing Application: Using our specialized soft wash equipment, we applied a specialized cleaning solution to the solar panels. The solution was effective at removing organic buildup. We left it to work on the surfaces for at least 30 minutes to maximize its effect.

4. Gentle Cleaning with Water-Fed Pole: After the solution settled in, we used a gentle-bristled pole to safely brush off the buildup. This method left the panels spotless without any threat to the solar cells.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: After wrapping up the cleaning, we performed a last wash to ensure all residues were removed. The customer was invited to inspect the solar panels, and they revealed the improved output on their remote display as displayed on their remote system.

Results

The change was remarkable. The lichen was fully cleared from the panels, returning them to pristine condition and greatly improving their efficiency. The customer was thrilled by the efficiency boost, which meant lower energy costs.
